Strong support for redistricting reform
Multiple opinion polls show strong, growing support for independent redistricting commissions.
Large majorities of Americans say gerrymandering is a major problem, unfair, and should be illegal.
“Majorities of Americans in all age groups say that gerrymandering is a major problem. Today, attitudes differ little by age, and more than 70% of Americans in each major age group consider gerrymandering to be a major problem. But concern has increased the most since 2022 among younger adults.”
- Most Americans don’t want gerrymandering in their states, regardless of which party it helps.
- Only one-quarter of Americans say it’s fair for states to engage in tit-for-tat gerrymandering.
- Most Americans think partisan gerrymandering should be illegal; many don’t know its current legal status.
Poll: 82% of Americans Want Redistricting Done by Independent Commission, Not Politicians.
As redistricting fight looms, North Carolina poll shows voters of all parties oppose gerrymandering.
